Combination of Vadim and Aergistal's process is what worked for me. End result is no gdm3 and I'm using gnome-shell instead of ubuntu's 17.10 gnome desktop. This was a repeatable process :):
ssh into my ubuntu 17.10 machine
sudo apt-get purge gdm3
sudo apt purge nvidia*
sudo apt install nvidia-384
hard reboot of ubuntu 17.10 machine (yikes)
got the login screen and a combination of my old gnome-shell with ubuntu's menu on the left side (configured to be there by default)
Thank You Aergistal and Vadim!
